Alyssum Easy Breezy Purple 6"

Alyssum Easy Breezy is a charming, low-growing plant known for its dense clusters of fragrant, tiny flowers in shades of white, pink, or purple. This variety is prized for its continuous blooming and delightful fragrance, making it a perfect choice for garden borders, containers, or hanging baskets. An interesting characteristic of the Easy Breezy alyssum is its ability to attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, while also providing a beautiful, cascading display throughout the growing season.

In southern Louisiana, Easy Breezy alyssum typically grows to a height of 6 to 8 inches with a spread of 10 to 12 inches, creating a compact, trailing form. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 4-6 hours of sunlight for optimal blooming. Alyssum is relatively cold-tolerant, performing well in USDA zones 7-11, and can handle cooler temperatures in southern Louisiana’s mild winters. However, it may need protection during frost or freezing conditions. Easy Breezy alyssum prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil, so regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging the roots to prevent rot.
